[Frenchy-Lefty]

It's over $1,700! That sucks, someone is going to get ripped off!

That's one guy who will regret of not being part of this forum if he eventually stumble on this thread.

To pjmuck:

01 (P bass), 06 (lefty) from what I gather and the 5 is indeed 1975. They would not use a 75 neck on a 72/73 bass and call it a 72/73. I know the years were all screwed up then with parts hanging waiting to be used but come on.. 3 years????

Weight I don't know but I and a few others I know had 70's basses and all were tankers. Not saying they didn't make light ones because I have heard there were some.

The body is not original candy apple red. I still have the email from the original guy that said his father confirmed the body was a refinish….. It looked refinished and not original… That was one of my turnoffs…. Something didn't look right.

The pot has a 137 on it near the solder.. see pic I am attaching.

I am very familiar with the Fender book and its a great book but the color I saw was not candy apple red. It looked more like a Fender MIM bass to me.

……and I have never seen a P bass with a screw in the center. That was on the Jazz basses.

Dude, I put up pics of at least 4 mid-70's Precisions with the middle screw.......the last one (the fretless) is a light one, around 8.5 lbs, too, of those of you who care.

Didn't see your pics from my phone (saw them now)..... Ok, there is a screw in the early 70's P bass. My 78 and buddies 76 did not have it but confirmed. I have added far too much to this thread and hope the buyer is truely happy with the purchase.....

Sold for $1886.99... WOW!

Did someone here snag this? I would like to buy just that neck please....

And the 80's MIJ Jazz sold for $510. That thing was engraved on all over and beat to hell......
